Answer:

The replacement rate is the percentage of the final income that the pension compensates.

Before-tax replacement rate:

The worker made $2,000, and his social security benefits are $1,200.

1,200 x 100% / 2,000 = 60%

The before-tax replacement rate is 60%.

After-tax replacement rate:

His 2,000 income was subject to a 25% tax.

2,000 x 25% = 500

His after-tax income was 1,500

1,200 x 100% / 1,500 = 80%

The after-tax replacement rate is 80%.

Slim made a single deposit of $5,000 in an account that pays 7.2% in 2015. What equal-sized annual withdrawals can Slim make fro
evablogger [386]

Answer:

annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Explanation:

given data

Amount Deposited = $5,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.2%

First withdrawal =  2020

last withdrawal = 2025

solution

we consider equal sized annual withdrawals = x

so we can say that Amount Deposited amount will be as

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^6} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^7} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^8} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^9} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{10}}       ..........1

we take common here \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}}

so

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}} \times ( \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^1} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^2} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^3} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^4} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^{6}} )      

solve it we get

x = $1,393.87  

so that annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Billy Bob's Barber Shop knows that a 5 percent increase in the price of their haircuts results in a 15 percent decrease in the n
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Percentage increase in price = 5%

Percentage decrease in quantity demanded = 15%

Therefore,

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

Elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{15}{5}

                                           = 3.0

Hence, elasticity of demand facing Billy Bob's Barber Shop is 3.0

A customer, who needs to drive to work in a Wisconsin winter, has a critical need to use the product Ice Melt. For him as a cons
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price

Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,

Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price

Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.
